Re: Anniversary Plans

  • We're celebrating the weekend after-but we haven't decided how yet.

    The night of our anniversary we're exchanging gifts and ordering take out from the restaurant that catered the wedding. Smile

  • Our trip was our anniversary present to each other and then some!!!  But we will probably go out to dinner on Monday night at least.
  • We will probably go out to dinneron our anniversary but nothing big bc we will be leaving soon on vacation and we want to save our money.

  • Our anniversary dinner got kaboshed, thanks to my flight getting changed so that I don't get in until late (10:30) So as of right now we don't have any real plans yet.

    I did find out last night that John wants to buy me some sexxy lingerie this Friday when we go shopping for clothing.

    Other than that I'm super stumped on what to get him, so I jokingly told him that this could be the gift for both of us. That being said what are you ladies getting your hubby?

  • We both took Monday off and will probably do a winery for a bit and then a nice dinner somewhere we don't typically go.....

    I'd love to go away but it's not in the finances :/

  • We will probably just go out to dinner on our actual anniversary or the night before. I am debating ordering a cake from the place we got ours from. We will see though :)

    You should definetly do the cake!!! Few things would make me happier than my husband doing this for me - but sadly I don't think he'd ever think of it!

  • We are going to the movies and do the fork and screen thing on Saturday.

    I will make something for dinner Monday night.

    I have no idea what to get Rusty.

  • Our anniversary is the 18th. DH planned a trip to St. Augustine for us from the 15-19th. He's arranged for a couple massage when we arrive and then a carriage ride after dinner on the night of our anniversary. Other than that, I have no idea what else he's got planned. I do know we're doing the historic-touristy stuff like the fort, old jail, schoolhouse, and "fountain of youth." There's some great shopping in the historical part of town and the beach is really nice, so we'll hit that up too.

    He's been so busy with work lately and traveling so often that it'll be nice for us to have a little getaway. 

    As far as gifts are concerned, we're probably just exchanging cards and calling the massages/carriage ride/dinner/etc our "gift." 

  • We are going out to dinner at the restaurant our reception was at. We aren't doing gifts, but are splurging on a big cruise vacation at the end of a July.
  • DH is taking care of everything.  I'm thrilled.

  • We have reservations at the Melting Pot!
  • We're going out of town this weekend. M got us a nice plan in the mountains for a couple of nights... we plan to go tubing, swimming, and shopping. Then he says he's planning something special for Monday (actual anniversary), so we'll see.

  • DH had to work late on our anniversary, but I did wait on dinner until he got home if that counts! Got to love eating after 9pm. We didn't do gifts to each other, we usually never do except on birthdays.

  • We're doing dinner at the Chateau winery that makes the wine we served at our wedding on Saturday night.

    On our actual anniversary we are having fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, and green beans for dinner and lemon cake for dessert since that was the menu at the wedding. We did this last year since we had such limited funds and we decided to make it a tradition. :)

    Our gifts this year will be new bathrobes. Nothing too exciting, but it fits into the "cotton" theme and it's something we could both really use.

  • no idea...we really need to figure something out! I'm not even sure if we will be in the same state at the time...who knows

  • DH will be OOT and is staying overnight for work, so I won't see him other than at 6am when he leaves, so we will (hopefully) be celebrating our anniversary the day before.  Nothing big planned, just dinner somewhere I think lol.

  • We are going on a hike we haven't been on yet, maybe with Maggie, maybe with our BBFs too. Then later that night we are going out to dinner at a fancy restaurant. No gifts this year, the patio we are putting in is our present this year. We've always been really into house things as presents.

  • Monday we are going out to dinner and exchanging cards as well as reading our vows to each other, like we did last year. Instead of doing traditional gifts we are taking a vacation in August! I cannot wait for our trip!

  • DH and I are taking a mini 5 day vacation 2 hours away from where we live. We're leaving in a week and returning on our anniversary.

  • DH is going to be studying on our actual anniversary (he has an exam the next day).  So we will be going to out to dinner the next week while we are down the shore.
